Marcus Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Since we are living in a webbrowser war era started last week with ff3 release, I was wondering: what browser do you use to surf the net? Edit: Richie, I wanted to add a poll but I did something wrong Could you put it right please? I wanted to add the options FF 2, FF 3, IE 6, IE 7, Opera, Konqueror, Safari Can you see the real me, preacher? Can you see the real me, doctor? Can you see the real me, mother? Can you see the real me?
HappyFeat Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I use FireFox and Safari. Style is built from the ground up!
shyguy Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Poll added. I use Internet Explorer 7. I have tried Firefox on so many occasions, and found it either crashes frequently, or is slooooow, it's still on my pc but I don't know why. I did use Opera too many years back, but they started trying to charge for it at some point and I gave up using it. He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes.

Ozzard Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 The perils of developing web apps... most of the above, though IE7 "natively". Incidentally, Opera is free on PC platforms and has been for a couple of years. They went for the embedded market to make money - the browser on the Wii, for example, is Opera. I've now left HHPlace. Feel free to use the means listed in my profile if you wish to contact me.
shyguy Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Oh yeah, forgot about the Wii, I also use Opera then. He was so narrow minded he could see through a keyhole with both eyes. Brown's Law: If the shoe fits, it's ugly
WA10rHeelGuy Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I've used FF2 for ages now and it's a lot safer than IE7, ok so bit slow to boot. add-ons are fun to mess around with - and free - IE7 charges for some of this stuff. FF3 - faster - add-ons catching up and still a lot safer that IE7. For PCs there's no excuse not to use FF3 - we could prob even have a High Heel theme for it one day Mobile = Opera Mini A rHeel Adventure.

PatentHeel Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Firefox 2 for me i'm afraid. Not used IE7 for ages now.
WA10rHeelGuy Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Firefox 2 for me i'm afraid. Not used IE7 for ages now. Don't be afraid. Spread the Firefox word - Microsoft can lose. and no I'm not paid by FF to say this A rHeel Adventure. Liverpool, England - My Story: http://blog.benico.biz/ (I'm also on Facebook)
tightsnheels Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I chose IE7 though I'm not sure that is quite right as I am running Vista. Have to do a little research there (built my own system you would think I'd know what is in it.). I have run FF2 on an Ubontu system for a very short time when playing around with Linux and I do believe once the Mrs. and kids are out of school which requires MS products I will go strictly Linux.

HappyFeat Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I am impressed that Konqueror is included in the poll! I have used it in the past when running Debian Linux and the KDE2 interface. It is a pretty wonderful browser. But then again, I am something of a nerd. Style is built from the ground up!
sendra45 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Using firefox 2.0.0.14 here and I am a friend of firefox. try getting IE whatever to run on linux. The angels have the phonebox.
Juliann Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I have been using firefox since it came out, 3.0 seems quicker than previous versions. I have IE 6 but rarely ever use it.
Bubba136 Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 While I use Firefox almost exclusively, I kinda like Opera. It has some nice features. (also have Netscape and IE-7 installed) Being mentally comfortable in your own mind is the key to wearing heels in public.
roniheels Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 IE-7 is part of my COX media package. No complaints. Then again, I'm not the most computer savy person here. It meets my needs.
jbmajoor Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 I use Safari, since I switched from micro$oft (crap) to Apple, my favourite. No spam, no spyware anymore Woman Boots, queen of the shoes
tightsnheels Posted July 30, 2008 Posted July 30, 2008 Well now I have to list a change since as of yesterday I have switched OS from Vista (It really means look out I'm going to keep all kinds of crap and flush your important documents!) To Ubuntu 8.04 so now I'm running Firefox 3.0.1 I have noticed the overall appearance of sites is slightly different (and with misspelling different a moment ago it also has a spell checker!) than with IE. So far if everything goes smoothly I will never go back to an MS based system. T&H "Look for the woman in the dress, if there is no dress there is no woman."-Coco Channel
